Has anyone said “how much skin [the malls] now have in the [promotion] game”? In the beginning of such a program, around 1998, it was a 1:1 match between the City and the clients, at a much lower level. Which made a certain amount of sense, since most if not all the expenditure was recoverable–more of a true investment in the future, and one which set the stage for the later expansions.

Jake, That wasn’t nice, do you like people to call your mother, sister or wife fat, do you think they’ld like it to be called names? It’s one thing to disagree with the mayors polices, but to call her names that’s ashame, BTW, I’m no fan of the mayor, but would never call her or anyone else nasty names.

Statistics can be misleading (”97% of the council votes are unanimous”). Frankly, I believe diversity of perspective amongst the council members can be healthy, if all the members are able to engage in true dialog. Dissent can create better outcomes when each member first seeks to understand the other points of view. I also believe we would have better representation and results if each council member were able to place items on the council agenda. And, our council could spend more time on setting the policy (direction) and less time on implementation details (that is for the 500+ employees of the City of San Marcos).

Narvaiz should move quickly to help create jobs in San Marcos rather than push for more community volunteerism. It’s hard for residents to volunteer their time when they spend so much of their time looking for jobs in this depressed economy.
